We introduce a new set of noncommutative space-time commutation relations in two space dimensions. The space-space commutation relations are deformations of the standard flat noncommutative space-time relations taken here to have position…
This paper expands on existing learned models of human behavior via a measured step in structured irrationality. Specifically, by replacing the suboptimality constant $\beta$ in a Boltzmann rationality model with a function over states…
This article is concerned with characteristic Sturmian words of slope $\alpha$ and $1-\alpha$ (denoted by $c_\alpha$ and $c_{1-\alpha}$ respectively), where $\alpha \in (0,1)$ is an irrational number such that $\alpha =…
We present an operational semantics for the language MeTTa.
We show that for both the unary relation of transcendence and the finitary relation of algebraic independence on a field, the degree spectra of these relations may consist of any single computably enumerable Turing degree, or of those c.e.…
I show that, if a term is $SN$ for $\beta$, it remains $SN$ when some permutation rules are added.
The dynamics of fermionic unparticles is developed from first principles. It is shown that any unparticle, whether fermionic or bosonic, can be recast in terms of a canonically quantized field, but with non-local interaction terms. We…
We define various formal moduli spaces of p-divisible groups which are regular, and morphisms between them. We formulate arithmetic transfer conjectures, which are variants of the arithmetic fundamental lemma conjecture of the third author…
Sturmian words are infinite binary words with many equivalent definitions: They have a minimal factor complexity among all aperiodic sequences; they are balanced sequences (the labels 0 and 1 are as evenly distributed as possible) and they…
Beta-integers (``$\beta$-integers'') are those numbers which are the counterparts of integers when real numbers are expressed in irrational basis $\beta > 1$. In quasicrystalline studies $\beta$-integers supersede the ``crystallographic''…
For any $\beta > 1$, let $T_\beta: [0,1)\rightarrow [0,1)$ be the $\beta$-transformation defined by $T_\beta x=\beta x \mod 1$. We study the uniform recurrence properties of the orbit of a point under the $\beta$-transformation to the point…
We prove that every topologically transitive shift of finite type in one dimension is topologically conjugate to a subshift arising from a primitive random substitution on a finite alphabet. As a result, we show that the set of values of…
Set partitions and permutations with restrictions on the size of the blocks and cycles are important combinatorial sequences. Counting these objects lead to the sequences generalizing the classical Stirling and Bell numbers. The main focus…
Two finite words $u$ and $v$ are called abelian equivalent if each letter occurs equally many times in both $u$ and $v$. The abelian closure $\mathcal{A}(\mathbf{x})$ of an infinite word $\mathbf{x}$ is the set of infinite words…
The aim of this paper is to introduce truncated degenerate Bell polynomials and numbers and to investigate some of their properties. In more detail, we obtain explicit expressions, identities involving other special polynomials, integral…
We start from a quantum computational principle suggested for string theory in a previous paper and discuss how it might lead to a dynamical principle implying the correct classical gravitational limit. Besides this, we briefly look at some…
In this paper we provide sufficient conditions in order to show that the set image of a continuous and shift-commuting map defined on a shift space over an arbitrary discrete alphabet is also a shift space; additionally, if such a map is…
In transcendental dynamics significant progress has been made by studying points whose iterates escape to infinity at least as fast as iterates of the maximum modulus. Here we take the novel approach of studying points whose iterates escape…
We are interested in the differential equations satisfied by the density of the Geometric Stable processes $\mathcal{G}_{\alpha}^{\beta}=\left\{\mathcal{G}_{\alpha}^{\beta}(t);t\geq 0\right\} $, with stability \ index $% \alpha \in (0,2]$…
Consider $\beta > 1$ and $\lfloor \beta \rfloor$ its integer part. It is widely known that any real number $\alpha \in \Bigl[0, \frac{\lfloor \beta \rfloor}{\beta - 1}\Bigr]$ can be represented in base $\beta$ using a development in series…
